At the show this year, we brought you living legends, industry icons, creative geniuses, space cowboys, and scientific marvels! On May 10-12, the pop culture festival opened its doors again at the George R. Brown Convention Center and welcomed celebrity guests like Emilia Clarke, known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons, on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones and having joined Emilia is Nathalie Emmanuel, Daenerys’s trusted advisor; Grant Gustin from the Flash, whose time with us went by too quick, and John Wesley Shipp, the original Flash; Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, and Wilson Cruz, who all take us boldly where no man has gone before and Peter Serafinowicz who makes us all laugh with his role on Amazon’s The Tick.

Returning events included the popular Cosplay competition on Saturday night, and the adorable Kid’s Cosplay competition on Sunday afternoon; a literature festival filled with authors, workshops, and round table discussions; comic book guests, publishers, and retailers; a film festival that featured short films; and entertainment that included ice sculpting with power tools, dance, songs, and laughs.
